A letter and news of Macbeth's return has arrived! What joy!! But we must discuss the prophecies in the letter. Those three witches called him Cawdor when he had no such title previously and no sooner had they disappeared did the King's men address him as such. With the previous thane of Cawdor executed for treason coinciding with Macbeth's valiant fight, I suppose it could be a coincidence. But Macbeth as king? His destiny as a great man would be fulfilled at last! How great it is to be a man with title...
If only I were born a male instead of a female. I could be the one who rises to power and fulfills a great destiny! But I am a woman. I can only be the voice that guides Macbeth towards his destiny....Glamis, Cawdor, and then king...
King Duncan's arrival could easily become an opportunity. If he were to die accidentally, or be murdered by "rebels", Macbeth would be the most likely heir with his recent heroism and loyalty to his country. He would then be king in no time at all!!! But who would do the deed?
I await Macbeth's return with impatience. I pray that his journey be swift and his horse's steps sure.
I like how you are beginning to evovle. You should try adn have a peer comment on this as well.
ReplyDeleteI love how your thoughts give insight to the character's intentions and I also thought the last sentence was very stylistic. Could the passage "to die accidentally...who would do the deed?" be foreshadowing something eerie to come? I really enjoyed this post!
